#ive been trying to study it for a bit

[wanderer-of-light]

Hrgh i wish there was a quick and easy, even if messy, dragon speech translator OTL. Damn language was made by one man and he has to voice most of the pronunciations for the cast to repeat but my god,,, trying to study what is available is difficult at best due to the sentence structures, learning words + words to cut out of the sentence quickly, nit having all the words (or at least a more up to date listing), and doing all this off an old ass forum page while switching back and forth from where I'm deciphering and rewritting things. Even if the translator is a bit messy, at least I have the base structure and could make "corrections"/adjustments as needed or seen fit.

Never getting over Fulcrum being a project manager...

Idk why, but something about that is so funny to me. Not just because the title of "project manager" is inherently kinda funny for a Decepticon, but also because-

1. It's vague sounding and hard to explain irl because it technically exists in multiple fields, like healthcare or manufacturing, which surely translates into canon in some way.

2. In canon, it's simultaneously a really mundane, innocuous sounding job, yet it's also a super morally awful position to reside over depending on the context. (*cough* forced colonization and cyberforming *cough*)

And 3. It solidifies the fact that behind all the surface level militaristic work we get with both the Decepticons and Autobots, there's also Cons and Bots with "normal" jobs in both factions.

Like, sure yeah we get scientists and doctors, engineers and programmers, but usually in big important or warfront positions. (For plot reasons, understandably.) But it's also really funny and interesting to think of those that worked background positions, or minor jobs.

Like an Autobot working in their equivalent of an HR department, or a Decepticon who runs one of their outpost's or starship's kitchens.

Just all the pre-war jobs that didn't just disappear with the war, but instead evolved to exist within the factions.

It's particularly funny with the Decepticons though, because it could be a super mundane job or situation, but because it's them, it has to have an air of ~e v i l~ to it, either legitimately and/or merely for the vibes, like Tarn's "performance reviews".

this might be a bit of a weird question, but i promise it's genuine and in good faith!

since your artwork is used for the official remix options for rain world, how do you feel about other people imitating your art style?

when DP first released i thought it was fun to see people uploading mods using lineless artwork as the thumbnail, but i was curious to know how you felt about it

(i'm making a mock thumbnail for a character, and didn't want to proceed if this was something that bothered you!)

This is actually something I thought about a bit, and while I've always been open to people taking inspiration from me- contending with the idea of someone actually trying to imitate me directly did give me a pause. But like you said- with my work and style used for official stuff, many people will see my art without seeing/knowing me, and many people will likely want to try and copy it. Not out of any malicious or drive to like, steal my style, or whatever- but simply because they are trying to match an element of something they like. I think its fine. I absolutely encourage people who like my style to take elements from it, but I also encourage them to find their own footing and build out their own style. As for direct attempts to match it, well, its official! People want to try and match the official work, especially with things like mod uploads which is where it gets used. Its understandable it happens and as long as people aren't actually attempting to pass themselves off as me in any way shape or form I think I'm fine with it. That can be covered very naturally by just having your own stylistic flare that's clearly not in line with the mod menu art (something I would file under 'inspired' rather than 'imitating') or by making it clear that something is a study/attempt at imitation/done by yourself/referencing etc.

(I think I would also like to ask that such attempts to look 'official' don't extend to NSFW work, although I imagine that isn't something many are considering doing. No shade to NSFW artists in general, but I don't think you should be trying to look like someone else's work for that medium. I've seen it before though.)

This really was our yumenosaki academy♡

[swordmaid]

now im thinking about thalia's noble house and unsure if i want to make her a noble in baldur's gate or some other city, and i kind of like the idea that she's old money and her family has been around for centuries since they're high elves. it also makes the burden of shouldering her family name weigh heavier since she's his father's heir, so it's up to her to carry on their legacy and name but how can she do that when her own magic is trying to kill her!!! sigh
